Expected life is 150k if I remember correctly, but can last longer or shorter (almost always longer unless it has been abused). I personally would avoid given that I don't need the build quality of the 50D (and instead go for the cheaper xx0D), or even Nikon d3100 (about £250 after rebates from Nikon).

i've already got canon lenses. i will grab it i think. Looks in great condition

EDIT: i bought it, good enough for me. £180 is a new shutter but stated as working fine anyway.
I think i got a cracking deal. 50d 106k shots, 3 batteries + charger, 8gb CF card, Strap and canon 35mm F2 prime all for £230 posted to my door. I can sell the lens for that much alone ~£200 plus i have a 1000d to sell so i can repair the body when/if it dies when i'm through with it. done through paypal sale so I can claim money back if it's a lemon.

For me Burst is more important so the 2.3fps my 1000d is BS in comparison
